Excellent summation! Thank you for the post.

There is more than one type of citizen in our country, government knows this. They dupe the People into claiming to be US citizens so they can be controlled.
US citizens are creations of government via the 14th Amendment.
The People of the States are not citizens of THE United States, they are Citizens of THESE United States.
You can't claim to be part of the collective and then try to claim an individual right.
§ 1218. The inhabitants enjoy all their civil, religious, and political rights. They live substantially under the same laws, as at the time of the cession, such changes only having been made, as have been devised, and sought by themselves. They are not indeed citizens of any state, entitled to the privileges of such; but they are citizens of the United States. They have no immediate representatives in congress.
